This is false, @JAMA_current.
Many physicians are racist.
The history of American medicine is racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic. There are myriad studies on this, as well as a hundreds of books. Your podcast is two white men claiming racism is non-existent. Apologize.

Every Black friend I have has had issues with racist doctors. One of my closest friends was diagnosed late with pulmonary hypertension because her white doctor ignored what she told him. She died in her 40s--she should still be alive. I'll never stop being angry about it.
Even famous Black women like Serena Williams have spoken out about their experiences. VP Harris prioritized Black maternal health as a senator. And women and Black patients have their pain under-treated. This is systemic. @JAMA_current needs to retract this.
Dr. Fauci, America's best known doctor, has spoken repeatedly about the history of racism in medical treatment of Black and brown people. It is just outrageous that the @JAMA_current would make such a statement.
Chronically ill and #disabled people are acutely aware of how the medical system ignores and dismisses marginalized people. To gaslight people like this is frankly unconscionable.
And most definitively, @JAMA_current, the disproportionate number of COVID deaths in Black and brown people is reason enough to acknowledge there is a problem of systemic and structural racism in the medical system.
